Our 100ac farm is situated on Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, about 1 hour outside Melbourne. We run livestock and grow vegetables for our own use. Animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, chickens, goats, dogs and a pig. There are two of us living on this property, entirely off the grid.

I want to skill up in my knowledge about agriculture, permaculture, gardening, animals. I began to take an active interest when I lived in Bellingen for a while and helped on a property as well as the community gardens there. I also like exploring and want to see more of rural Australia.

I like to work in rural areas and with nature. I like to develop something outside. Also I want to learn more about the outside work and develop new skills and passions.

Our property is a beautiful lifestyle property with animals, located just an hour’s drive from Sydney CBD. Set on a scenic and serene landscape, it’s home to a variety of animals, including horses, two German Shepherds, a cat, chickens, ducks, and ponies. The property feels like a mini zoo, full of life and charm, offering a unique and peaceful environment. While it feels like you’re in the middle of a tranquil forest, the property is only 49 kilometers from Sydney CBD, providing the perfect blend of rural serenity and easy access to city attractions. From the stunning sunsets to the open fireplace evenings, the property offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere ideal for enjoying nature and relaxation. Our property is more than just a place; it’s a retreat where animals and people coexist in harmony. It’s not a working farm but a private sanctuary designed for a relaxed and fulfilling lifestyle, where the sounds of nature and the laughter of children create a lively and inviting space.

I would like to discover as part of my trip to Australia the different cultures, be immersed with the people of the country and help them in their activities. The Wwoofing offers me the opportunity to participate in physical work, activities on farms, be in nature or take care of animals. Indeed, I love physical work and enjoy nature and its benefits. I have the exchange value that the woofing offers. In my personal life with my surroundings, we serve each other with confidence. For example, I kept the house of the mother of a sick friend during 9 months during 2024, so that the house remained occupied, secured and maintained, I stayed free of charge in this house. while waiting for the house to be renovated and rented. Moreover, It is a real opportunity to learn more about Australia and its people as well as to make new acquaintances.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to give real meaning to my summer. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting people from different backgrounds, but this time, I wanted to experience something more authentic and human than simple tourism. Woofing seems to me like the perfect way to do that : learning, sharing, helping, all while being close to nature and animals. Having grown up in the countryside, I’ve always enjoyed working outdoors and being around animals. I practiced horse riding for ten years, and from that time I’ve kept a real appreciation for effort, respect for living beings, and the satisfaction of being useful. I like feeling involved in a tangible project, where my help can truly make a difference. For me, WWOOF is much more than just a trip, it’s an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, to discover a new culture, to learn new things, and and to connect with people. I see it as a deeply enriching experience, one that reflects my values of sharing, kindness, and open-mindedness.

I joined WWOOF because I want to live a genuine experience, far from traditional tourism. I believe the best way to understand a country is by sharing daily life with the people who live there. I’m looking to learn, exchange, help, and experience a simpler lifestyle connected to nature. WWOOFing is also a great opportunity for me to improve my English while discovering Australian culture from the inside. I want something real, human, and meaningful—based on sharing, trust, and working together.

We have come out of early retirement to start up our Boutique Potted Christmas tree farm on small lakeside acreage on the beautiful Atherton Tableland near Cairns in Far North Queensland. Lake Tinaroo is recognised as a world class fishery for large stocked Barramundi fish and social water sports. The Tableland area has a showcase of scenic waterfalls, locally grown produce, restaurants and interesting must see villages. Its Avocado and other tropical fruits and vege farms provide plenty of casual work in season.  We have now been in operation for nearly four years and have grown our stock from seed using solely organic principles.

I was looking for an opportunity to travel to Australia for months when a friend of mine recommended the website. The concept sounded amazing to me so I am very excited to try it out. I love spending time outside, with animals or children and especially, since I am traveling solo I would love to meet many new people and make some friends along the way.

Have a 3-level home in the Perth Hills which is about 35 minutes from the city.  Most of the vegetation is natural and we have garden work to be done. We would prefer person's in their 30's, We have one room for WWOOFer so best for couples or single person. We have a small orchard.

The next chapter in my life which is the regenerative fashion project, requires me to be one with nature and familiar with the practises on how to live in harmony with nature. I see WWOOF as an absolutely amazing platform to do that! I joined because I’m curious to learn more about organic farming, regenerative practices, and community-based living, not just in theory, but through real experiences alongside people who live this every day. What excites me most is the opportunity to be part of a family or community, to share stories and meals, to help out with practical tasks, and to learn skills that remind me of the beauty and balance in a simpler way of life. For me, WWOOFing isn’t just about volunteering, it’s about experiencing a lifestyle that is grounded, nourishing, and regenerative, and carrying those lessons with me into my future work and the communities I’ll serve 🙂

🌱 Why I Joined WWOOF I joined WWOOF because I want to explore and understand the connection between nature, design, and sustainable living. I’m especially interested in landscape design and urban planning, and I believe working with plants and the land is essential for building beautiful and practical environments. WWOOF offers the chance to learn directly from people, nature, and experience—not just from books or classrooms. I hope to work closely with hosts who can teach me about gardening, building, landscaping, and farming, and who enjoy sharing knowledge, daily life, and conversation. I would be especially happy to hear from hosts who: Are open to sharing knowledge about gardening, landscaping, or building Enjoy cooking or sharing meals Like talking in English (even simple conversations help me improve!) Please feel free to message me. I reply quickly and am excited to meet kind and inspiring people!

I joined WWOOF because I want to learn not only about farming but also about how people live. I hope to improve my English through everyday communication and life on the farm.

We are Stuart, Victoria, and Timmy. We are just starting as Wwoof hosts again after a break of over 20 years. We live on a 300 acre conservation covenanted property in South Gippsland. We have a small clearing in the forest where we have an orchard, vegetable gardens and chickens. We have walking trails through the forest to be able to monitor and access more remote parts of the property. The dominant trees here are Mountain ash, some are huge and many have excellent hollows for animal homes. The river, creeks and gullys are filled with tree-ferns, mosses and fungi. It is a home to many important animal species such as the gang-gang, long-nosed bandicoots, koala, platypus, suberb lyrebirds and the powerful owl. We work with Trust for Nature to protect this forest ecosystem and manage threats so it can store and sequester carbon, preserve biodiversity as well as provide clean water for the community. This forest is unique and endangered and plays an important role in providing a refuge for many native species. We do a variety of farm tasks in the home gardens and out in the forest. From Dec to April we can take 1-4 wwoofers at Lyrebird camp in our tents or your own accommodation. If you prefer to stay inside we can accommodate a single or a couple in our spare room year round. If you are camping then longer stays are possible. If you are in the house then 2-3 days There is plenty to do here when you are not working. We have many walking trails and a large dam for swimming and you can take the canoe for a paddle to try and find the long-necked turtles!  We are close to the Prom, (Wilsons Promontory national park) and surf beaches.      

I joined WWOOF because I think it's a great way to experience the beauty of nature in the country. I usually live the city life so I want to experience something completely different! I'm interested in learning about life in nature, farming, nature conservation, wildlife and daily activities on the land.

I’ve already done several WWOOF experiences during my time in Australia, and each one has been incredibly enriching. For me, WWOOF is not only about helping on farms but also about the amazing cultural exchange, meeting new people, and learning different skills and ways of living. I love the idea of sharing knowledge, learning from hosts, and discovering more about sustainable lifestyles and nature. Every stay has given me something unique from practical skills to unforgettable memories and that’s why I’m excited to continue the adventure. Lauren

J'ai rejoint woofing car j'ai l'habitude d'en faire dans les pays que je voyage car j'aime beaucoup ce principe là. Le partage que l'on crée avec nos hôtes nous font découvrir de nouvelles choses et c’est très enrichissant.

I joined WWOOF because I believe it is an amazing way to learn and connect to people who have a passion for what they do! I hope that I can help others accomplish their organic farming dreams!

To explore the country. To learn. To experience.
